Just one of many bags of swag from BlogHer 11


This giveaway is my way of paying it forward to other women who blog.  I was lucky enough to attend my first BlogHer ever last weekend in San Diego.
 

CONGRATS to the 2 WINNERS
of THIS GIVEAWAY!
MojoMama (Kids Gift Bag)

Tubby Telly (Woman's Gift Bag)


I'm also aware that not every woman blogger who wanted to come was able to make it, so I'd like to share two huge bags of some of the best SWAG I received throughout the conference, one for each of TWO winners.

Each of the two different prize packages to win has an approximate value of $150 or more.  One gift bag is perfect for a mom with one or more children young children.  The other gift bag is loaded with all kinds of goodies that any woman -- with or without children -- will likely appreciate.

BlogHer '11

Dexter, our Miniature Pinscher  was a wee bit excited when the UPS man delivered a box the other day.  Inside the package from Brawny Paper Towels he was tail-wagging happy to discover a multi-package of product, a Brawny Man apron, and the most handsome potholder mit from Williams-Sonoma.

I loved the goody box the brand sent me, too, even more than our little guy did.  But I'm also looking forward to visiting the Brawny booth at BlogHer at the San Diego Convention Center August 4-6, 2011.

Lots of fun activities are planned for bloggers attending

  • Get your photo taken with the Brawny Man at the booth
  • Tweet for a chance to win some great prizes to keep and to give away to readers
  • Compete against other attendees in the clean-up races to win 2 years supply of product

I grew up with Fisher-Price in the 50s and in the past decade so have my 4 kids: a singleton and then triplets all born within a year.  Not surprisingly, this brand has been around now for 80 years, having been enjoyed by several other generations as well.

So I'm pleased to announce that Fisher-Price -- with celebrity zoologist and children's TV show host Jarod Miller -- is sponsoring a fun contest that kids, moms, and dads will want to know about.  This family friendly sweepstakes has just begun and runs through November 30.  The sweepstakes heralds in the newest addition to the company's toy lineup.  Called the Little People  Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo, this toddler-size play set is now on store shelves.

Watch this clip to hear more about this fun contest. Then read below for additional details and the link to submit your entry.


The grand prize winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize and a trip to Fisher-Price headquarters in East Aurora, New York, for a special photo shoot for your son or daughter.
Plus, 10 first prize winners will each win a Zoo Talkers toy prize pack.  

To top it off, all successful submissions will be entered for a chance to win one of 100 Zoo Talkers Safari Truck.

How to Enter

Entry is simple.  All parents have to do to participate is submit a video of your child (from 1 to 5 year old) making his or her favorite zoo animal sound.  It could be a howl, roar, screech, squawk or even the trumpeting of an elephant.

Just record a basic 20 seconds or less video (AVI, MOV, MPEG or WMV format and maximum of 30MB) of your child doing their best imitation animal sound of a lion, tiger, elephant, bear, penguin, , leopard, whale, polar bear, hippopotamus, monkey, seal, gorilla, alligator, zebra, giraffe, ostrich, dolphin, snake, or bird.

Next, submit your video entry by uploading it to the contest website or sending it using an iPhone App or Android App.  Then, share the website link provided with friends and family so they can visit the public gallery to vote

No purchase is required.  The Animal Sounds contest runs Aug. 1, 2011 through 11:59 p.m. EST on Nov. 30, 2011.  For more information, complete contest rules, and to enter visit the Animal Sounds Contest website.
